I am currently working on my TESL certification. I am writing research paper on Issues in TESOL and Missions. I am currently having some trouble finding specific information on the History of ESL and Missions - where did ESL and Christian Missions, together, get their start and when. I am looking for articles or books that I can reference...are you able to help.

I am also looking for material on the current oppourtunities in Lebanon and what the TESL activity is in that country. As well as requirements of TESL unique to the country...meaning what does Lebanon require of their English teachers that may be unique to Lebanon. What are the 'idiosyncrasies'?
